"(O)nly about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions" - Ron Paul

[UrbScotty]

And that's the candidate being pushed by a certain portion of the Republican Party.

Abraham Lincoln would be ashamed!

[Suich]

What a vile, sick, evil, twisted man this is.

[Sherbidis2]

6. Votes for Congressional Medals

For Tuskegee Airmen, Apollo 11 Astronauts, and a WWII Army group (can't remember the specifics)

Against Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, Rosa Parks

His voting criteria may be those who performed extraordinary feats in service to their country.

[Scuba]

8. I would have voted against Mother Teresa, any Pope and certainly Ray-gun. n/t

[joshcryer]

17. Rosa Parks?

[Scuba]

18. I would vote for Ms. Parks. Her contribution to America is colossal.

[Scuba]

9. Not bad compared to the zero percent of Paul supporters...

... still racist bullshit.



On edit: a lot of black People seem to support Barack Obama. That's pretty damned sensible.

[Ecumenist]

10. Fuck him! I'm black and I have a perfectly sensible political solution-

I wouldn't elect this bigotted son of a bitch foir dog catcher, how about that?

[izquierdista]

11. Alan West and Alan Keyes?

Whatever you say, Ron!

[DavidDvorkin]

12. Change that to "10% of people" and he might be right.

[DCKit]

13. As usual, he misspoke. He meant "options". nt

[MadrasT]

14. I am sure he said "blahs" and everybody heard him wrong...

...just like Santorum.

[sakabatou]

15. Man, Paul is sure racist against the "blahs"

Ugh...

[Ikonoklast]

16. Ron Paul wouldn't know a 'sensible' political opinion if it bit him on the ass.

The opinions he holds are the farthest thing from sensible as one can be.

Making up statistics on the spot makes Paul look 100% like a racist asshole.

[ShadowLiberal]

19. Yes, blacks/gays/atheists/Muslims aren't being sensible by opposing politicians who demonize them

Sensible people support those who abuse and demonize them! If you don't support politicians who blame people like you for the cause of all of society's problems then you're just being delusional! After all... don't like you want to pay a couple hundred bucks less in taxes!

Blacks used to be sensible 150+ years ago when they just went with the flow and allowed themselves to be slaves and let others get rich off their hard labor.

(Yes I'm joking in case you didn't realize it)
